FORUM: MiniDisc VS MP3

Advantages: cheaper and superior media, portablility is better, sound quality is superb

Disadvantages: records in realtime unless u have NetMD

after readings these reviews about MP3 being better, i felt i had to step in and voice my opinion (which is my first). ill state the facts:

MiniDisc
Cost - £100 - 240 youll get a decent redorder and player for about £150
Cost of media - £1 or less for a disc that can hold up to 320 minutes of music on using LP4 mode. thats about 5 albums on one disc - 6 if ure lucky. ill also note that their is no loss of sound quality if u use the optical cable.

MP3
Cost - £60 - 200
Cost of media - youll pay about £30 for a 64MB memory stick which can hold an album on

now im not being biased towards MD, i just know more about it than MP3.

i find MD much more portable as u can record from nearly every digital source including portable CD's and pc's which means u can put your mp3's on minidisc.

Hi there!

Nice start but you need a LOT more information before you'll get any good ratings!! And some capital letters! If you rewrite this op, let me know and I'll come back and read it again!

Keep writing - that was an awfully long time between joining and writing an op!!

Hello and welcome to dooyoo. I prefer MD too but I can also see the positive aspects of MP3 (e.g. battery life) which you didn't mention at all in your review. Try reading a few reviews to get an idea of the sort of information required. Happy new year

Nice to see your first opinion ;)

Not a bad first op but you could do with a bit more detail for a better rating.

Have fun ;)
